Growing up in the Caribbean, Maureen Tepedino began expressing her innate artistic ability by drawing sketches of Jamaican sceneries and still life. Maureen later studied Interior Design and Art at Santa Monica City College.
While working for IBM, Maureen was exposed to and inspired by artist Jackson Pollock whose work she truly identifies with. As a former musician, her artwork is inspired by contemporary jazz, reggae, classical music and the blues. Maureen currently invests her efforts in creating unusual abstract designs using acrylic on canvas and mixed media, which reflect the colors of the Caribbean's subtle hues contrasted with blazing colors. Her work brings a new flavor and accent that transforms and is described as eclectic and transcultural.
Her paintings are sold nationally by interior designers, art consultants, architects and contractors for high-end residential and corporate projects. She also specializes in corporate art by creating original pieces designed for Commercial spaces.
